The accused have been identified as Shiv Ram, the deceased’s brother, his wife Kamlesh and son Abhishek, who were all named in the suicide note left behind by the man, SHO Dhoom Singh said.

“The man’s autopsy was conducted and handed over to the family for last rites on Wednesday,” Singh said.

The victim’s 24-year-old son stated in his police complaint that the trio used to taunt his father over one acre of ancestral land belonging to his grandfather.

“We held several meetings to resolve the issue, but to no avail. On Tuesday, my father consumed a poisonous substance and we took him to a private clinic and then to civil hospital, from where he was referred to Chandigarh. He died on the way,” he told the police.
